Primitive Pleasures {May}

One of the very best things about this May is having a mini family reunion this weekend to celebrate the marriage of my cousin. Since not everyone gets to enjoy such a fun gathering, here are some other good things trolled from the interwebs this month.

Simplicity:

People who chronically multitask have lost the ability to focus on one thing – and they’re actually terrible at mutlitasking…. Interesting article on NPR (man I love public radio) about the myth of multitasking.

So we fought for it. We stumbled on redemption in the unlikely sexy acts of taking out the smelly-diaper trash, going to marriage counseling, and texting each other apologies for misspoken harsh words.

I loved the list of books from Relevant! I have to sheepishly admit to never having read Mere Christianity. I’ve read excerpts, and I own it! {But I guess it doesn’t count…} I would also like to “amen” their article on Marriage. I must sound like a broken record, but I often feel {and tell people!} that our society, even in Christian circles, has done a great disservice by leading people to think that marriage is about them, it someone exists for fulfilling their needs…it’s about holiness and about God’s picture of love on earth, and that’s only the beginning! I hope more and more continue to bring this to light…

Well, I’ve read 4 out of the 10 books Relevant mentioned, though I do think listing the Bible is a cop out. Isn’t it a given? Doesn’t it transcend the book category? Maybe I’m just being a crotchety book nerd. :) I did like the idea of choosing our own literary classics!
